Description
Quirky, stubborn, brilliant

A homage to a genius with character

Beethoven was stubborn. Eccentric. At times unbearable. He ignored conventions, scolded aristocrats, and roamed Vienna with hair that looked as if he had just rolled out of bed — which was probably true more often than not.

But Beethoven was also a man of conviction. Someone who brushed aside etiquette with a shrug and devoted himself to art instead. And he held strong ethical beliefs: to serve humanity through his music.

How would he — if he lived today — react to his glass counterpart? He would probably shake his head and grumble. Or laugh. Or both at once.

But there is one thing he might have appreciated: the craftsmanship. The way light flows through mouth-blown glass. How the colors blend into each other. How that wonderfully unruly hairstyle was shaped. He would have asked: How did they do that?
That kind of respect for craftsmanship — he would have understood. The dedication required before art can take shape.

An expressive light object

LUDWIG is not a bird for the quiet background. He is a personality. A character who stands as confidently as if he were about to announce a symphony at any moment. The expressive crest, the alert gaze and the bold colors make it clear right away: this is an object with presence.

LUDWIG doesn’t just shine — he lives

Whether in the living room, on the terrace or nestled between leaves and grasses in the garden: LUDWIG has a special kind of presence that transforms a space without raising his voice. The mouth-blown glass softens the light into a warm glow, making LUDWIG not just eye-catching but mood-setting — indoors and out.

For people who appreciate character

LUDWIG is not a decorative accessory. He is a housemate. A conversation starter. An object as honest as its design — uncomplicated, full of character and pleasantly grounding. For everyone who loves and admires art, but without the “necessary seriousness.”

A gift that stays in mind

For art lovers, design enthusiasts or anyone who enjoys the extraordinary. LUDWIG tells stories — and will certainly spark new ones.

Special edition ODD BIRDS

In the summer of 2019, Stani Jan Borowski’s ODD BIRDS hatched for the very first time from glowing glass. Year after year, another brood of charismatic characters followed — each one joyfully falling out of society’s nest of “normality.” Outsiders, misfits, black sheep, eccentrics who still found their way to fame. They captivate us, fascinate us and move us. Why? Perhaps because they remind us to stand by ourselves — and to walk our own path boldly.

Watch the video produced by Stani Jan Borowski in the glass studio, documenting the creation of his “second brood.”

Manual Work

Exclusive Glass Art from Borowski Glassworks: Tradition, Craftsmanship, and Innovation Combined

Each object shown here embodies the craftsmanship of our glassmakers. Behind each of the objects that appear so light, cheerful and colorful is a complex, often sweaty manufacturing process. Today only a few people or manufactories master the old, demanding craft of the glassmaker.

In the Borowski Glass Studio you can work with almost all known techniques of cold and hot glass processing - this enables the artists to realize challenging visions and constant new, experimental ideas.

The three brothers Stani-Jan, Wiktor and Pawel Borowski learned how to use the glass pipe and the glowing material from scratch. While Wiktor mainly takes care of sales, Pawel and Stani-Jan work in the factory on site every day at the glass furnace.

Mouth-blown and traditionally handcrafted glass objects may have minor color and shape deviations that are unavoidable for manufacturing reasons. Air inclusions in the glass are a sign of the handmade product and should not be regarded as a defect. There may be deviations of a few centimeters in the size specifications.

The friendly figures and characters of the OUTDOOR OBJECTS ensure “fabulous” encounters in gardens and parks – in the true sense of the word.

The OUTDOOR OBJECTS are weatherproof and can stand outside all year long. All these art objects are handmade and hand blown with the utmost care.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When fastening your object, you should make sure that it stands securely and does not wibble or tip over, even in wind or knocks. Use the mounting eyelets we provide for this purpose. Position your object so that it is safe from falling rocks or braking branches. Keep in mind that the objects are very heavy due to their quality and protruding parts (e.g. beaks, eyes, ears, tails, crowns) are not suitable as handles.
